Randomization Method
|
Before
Randomization is special in our intervention. In some sense, it is a natural experiment since at the moment of birth, a "soul" is born in a given family with a given culture. However, since we focus on Aymara, we will randomize in this group. Half of the Aymara native subjects will be interviewed and receive directions for the games in Aymara and the other half in Spanish. They are all bilingual, so there is no language barrier. We use very simple terms when explaining the game.

After
Randomization is special in our intervention. When comparing a native language with Spanish language, it is a natural experiment since at the moment of birth, a "soul" is born in a given family with a given culture.
However, since we focus on Aymara, we will randomize in this group as well as the Quechua and Guarani. Half of the native speaking subjects will be interviewed and receive directions for the games in their native language and the other half in Spanish. The randomization will be done in front of each participant. They are all bilingual, so there is no language barrier. We will use very simple terms when explaining the game.

Randomization Unit
|
Before
At the individual level
|
After
For the game regarding risk, the unit of analysis will be each iteration of the game. There will be two "training games" with minor prizes (candies) and four games involving cash. So, the number of observations will be four times the number of subjects.
For the "patience" game, which is a variation of the marshmallow experiment, the unit of analysis is at the individual level.
